Assessment and optimisation of N-nitrosamine rejection by reverse osmosis for planned potable water recycling applications

水循环利用是确保澳大利亚饮用水供应的战略方法。潜在的挑战是通过确保能够有效消除令人关注的污染物的强有力的处理过程来保护公众健康。本研究旨在通过优化反渗透处理，提高先进水处理厂设计人员和操作人员控制n -亚硝胺浓度的能力。将开发一个预测模型，允许在全规模安装中通过反渗透过滤优化n -亚硝胺去除。该项目将直接提高间接饮用水循环利用的可行性，从而减少对易受气候变化影响的水源的依赖。

Water recycling is a strategic approach to secure potable water supplies in Australia. The underlying challenge is to protect public health by ensuring robust treatment processes capable of effectively eliminating contaminants of concern. This research aims to enhance the capabilities of advanced water treatment plant designers and operators to control N-nitrosamine concentrations by optimised reverse osmosis treatment. A predictive model will be developed allowing for the optimisation of N-nitrosamine removal by reverse osmosis filtration in full scale installation. The project will directly enhance the viability of indirect potable water recycling and thus reduce dependency on water sources vulnerable to climate change.
